ABSTRACT
To evaluate quality-adjusted life year(QALY) and relevant impact factors in 304 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC),post-radiotherapeutic subjects were surveyed by means of questionnaire and simplified Washington University-quality of life(UW-QOL).QALYs were calculated and impact factors were identified.Duration of follow-up and age were negatively correlated with QALY.Patients at lower N stage had increased QALY.Decreased QALY was found in recurrent patients.Due to coconsideration to the lost quality of life and survival,QALY could serve as an effective method to evaluate the burden of disease in NPC patients.
